Reflect and reconnect: Annual Congress 2022 comes to Belfast
We look forward to welcoming
you to our first fully face-to-face
Annual Congress 2022 in two
years. Join us from Wednesday
14 to Friday 16 September in
Belfast, Northern Ireland's vibrant
capital and birthplace of RMS
Titanic. Delegate booking is
now open (with exclusive early
booking discounts for members).
Celebrating 90 years of the
Association of Anaesthetists
To mark our 90th anniversary, we've lined up an exciting and diverse
programme that reflects all aspects of the Association’s work in
response to its members and the specialty. Annual Congress 2022
promises to offer more CPD than ever before and in exciting new
ways, including five keynotes, TED style talks, Q&As, live simulations,
workshops and a spectacular dinner dance at the Titanic Museum.
Practical workshops and live
stage demonstrations
Returning to in-person education means the return of
workshops. Annual Congress 2022 will offer plenty of
opportunity to get interactive, hands-on experience of
the latest technology and techniques in the speciality:
- Workshops: Point of care ultrasound, Ultrasound-guided
regional blocks, Critical incident simulation,
Focused transthoracic echocardiography (fTOE),
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and
How to publish a paper.
- Live on-stage simulation and demos: point of care
ultrasound and regional anaesthesia.
